Armorcast Cinematic Effects Contest Entries

Armorcast is having a contest for their Cinematic Effects range again this year. This gets me excited as I often use their cinematic effects in my miniatures, mainly in my Dark Eldar Models. I decided to reshoot a few minis and submit.

For this Dark Eldar Mandrake Proxie Unit I wanted to convey the sense of disembodies spirits trapped inside uniforms. They were Eldar Occultists that experimented a bit too heavily with the Dark Arts. Spellcasters that have been disfigured by a misfortunate magical accident and are now stuck in some sort of limbo serving as assassins that emerge from the shadows. I used the armorcast Medium Plasma Blasts bits as the Baleblasts from 2 of the Mandrakes hands. I glued a skull to the front of the blast and used Greenstuff to blend it in.

For this Dark Eldar jet I wanted to add an extra sense of speed and power. I used the Heavy Laser Muzzle flash as a Jet Engine effect instead of a weapon effect. The glows on the Cinematic effects pieces were achieved by airbrushing various shades of light blue and white mixed to achieve an OSL effect.
